Video Sharing is the hottest new trend in Social Media Optimization. It can also be called as a kind of link bait. This video sharing works really well in gaining the huge traffic and site popularity. If you really want to make a celebrity out of your web site and to get the topmost conversion rate possible, think about sharing your videos with the web community.

If you are associated with a company that can create a guide, review, informational "quip" concerning a service, product, or idea, then why don't you broadcast it? For some companies this has produced a noteworthy Return on Investment per lead or conversion. For example, if you belong to a development company that has made its own content management system, then you can provide several video tutorials on how to use your System, how easy it is to create content, and add some video tutorials about how clients can effortlessly modify your custom Content Management System (CMS) templates. The conversions from these submitted videos alone would be far better than a simple word or PDF online manual on how to manage or create the Content Management System (CMS).

Even if your website theme is not as such, then too you can try to make a video related with your products. There can be hundreds of ideas for creating a video, choose one topic and make a video tutorial keeping your website theme in mind. Video sharing websites can become a real treasure for your promotional campaign. An associated statistics illustrate that information provided by a video is easier to observe and much better than simple texts. These days video is used literally all over - in sales letters, tutorials, resumes etc., however, despite such attractiveness, it still remains newsworthy and effective.

Submitting your video to hundred's of such video sharing sites can bring enormous traffic towards your website...So, start up with any idea, work out with a plan and expect a lot of traffic coming towards your website.

As a business owner one of the keys to success is having a great marketing plan that is working.  There are so many ways to market your business it is impossible to do them all, unless you have a team working with you that you can delegate to.  I try to practice about 5 marketing techniques on a regular basis and I will share them with you.

1. Article writing
2. Blogging
3. Publishing an Internet newsletter called an e-zine
4. Sending out press releases
5. Flyer and post card distribution

Recently I got into using video to market my business and this is a great way to get your name and your face in front of potential clients.  I know some you maybe thinking I don’t have a clue about how to use video and I will tell you it is as simple as buying a web cam or Flip video.  Figure out what you want to say and record.  Once you record you can upload your video to the Internet in a matter of minutes.  A note here; make sure that your video is no longer than 10 minutes.  Most of the video sharing sites will let you upload only 10 minutes of video footage.  This process is so simple that my 9 year old niece can do, so I know you can.  There are so many places out there that you can upload your video.  You can actually have your own TV show right on the Internet.  I’ve video on my website, I video on my social networking pages and my TV channel on a few of the video sharing sites.  You owe it to the success of your business to check this technique out.  Don’t Be The Last One To The Party.

I will be holding a workshop on Internet marketing in October.  If you are interested in attending please email me and I will send you more information.

Until next month

Much Success.

Oh... finalmente qualche buona notizia dopo le ultime vicende politiche. Certe cose ti fanno aprire il cuore di quanto son belle ;)

Procedete così in ordine:

1. Controllate se le casse sono accese
2. Controlate che il volume delle casse non sia al minimo
3. Controllate se le casse sono collegate bene
4. Regolare il volume  del video che volete vedere tramite il pulsantino che c'è nell'angolo inferiore destro del video player di YouTube.
5. Controllate se il problema si presenta solo con un tipo di browser (per es. Firefox)
6. Eliminate la cache e i cookies dal browser che state usando (FF: strumenti-> elimina i dati personali IE7: strumenti -> cronologia esplorazioni)
7. Andate su: impostazioni -> pannello controllo -> suoni e periferiche audio ,e controllate che il "volume periferica" sia sul massimo, e poi andate sulla voce "Audio" per controllare che le vostre casse siano impostate come predefinite, se no cliccate e scegliete la voce delle casse come predefinita,poi cliccate sotto la casella dove cè scritto "Volume" e controllate che non ci sia nessuna opzione disattivata o regolata al minimo, se così fosse alzate le varie opzioni e/o deselezionate la casellina "disattivato".
8. Scaricate ed aggiornate il nuovo Flash Player (versione 9), che potete trovare nei link a detsra del blog, sotto la sezione "Links Utili".

Personalmente ho risolto il problema che avevo usando Firefox (con IE7 mi funzionava l'audio), con l'opzione numero 8, dopo aver controllato le precedenti 7. Sembr amagia ma non lo è, anche se non capirete perchè (come non l'ho capito io, forse era un contrasto di plugin non aggiornati) vedrete che se avete un pizzico di fortuna risolverete il problema :-)

My daughter, who's two, loves Skype. She knows where the camera is on our mac (not an easy thing to understand for a 2-year old), and at times, will give me a kiss by kissing the camera. I actually have some screen shots of her kissing the camera, but all you see, obviously, is darkness. But it has meaning to me as a cherished moment.

I read on the wonderful "What the F**k is Social Media" presentation that there are over a billion videos on YouTube. That's a lot of people sitting around filming themselves and getting comfortable with being on camera.

And then I read a post by Grant over here about Video Cameras and think yes, we're ready because technology has caught us, and high speed internet access promises to help people out with silly moments.

Consider the old version of video conferencing. before high speed, it felt like a Japanese Kung Fu movie, the audio and video weren't synced. Then, when that was solved with high-speed access, people were just not comfortable being on camera. They didn't know what to do. Consider the main boardroom meeting: people would watch a roomful of people wondering what to look at while one person spoke. The most uncomfortable thing about cameras is what to do when you're in the shot, but not the speaker.

And now, at our agency, there's talk of a gizmo that can sit at a boardroom table and focus on who is talking, and only who is talking. So we'll talk into a camera because YouTube and Skype are doing wonderful work letting us practice.

For a mid-sized shop like ours, with offices in 7 cities, video meetings are our future. And thanks in part to social media, we're ready.

[slideshare id=290048&doc=social-networking-software-rayzz-1204545238851380-2&w=425]Rayzz

Rayzz is a video sharing software solution. The company is based in Chennai, India and is a subsidiary of Agriya Infoway. It has clients in many vertical markets such as TV Broadcast, Newspaper and Magazine publishing. Clients include Cisco intranet social network for Cisco's employees.

Background

Rayzz was developed in December 2006 by Agriya Infoway, an established Indian providing outsourced software development to a global client base. After the original Beta software was released it was re-written in May 2007 to provide a more stable platform. The software was re-written again in November 2007 and assigned the 2.0 version. The current version is 2.2.

Software Features

The Rayzz software allows the user to run a video sharing website. Users are able to socialize with one another like they can on MySpace or YouTube. The software allows a user to upload an AVI or MPEG (Up to 20 codecs supported) video which will be transcoded to an FLV file and can be played on an FLV Player.

Rayzz is probably the strongest script we've seen in terms of developing a mix of video sharing and online community features. If you are looking to build a pure video sharing website this probably isn't the software/script for you. But if you are planning on bigger things and want to stand out from the thousands of other YouTube Clones out there, Rayzz is well worth the extra dough. When you consider that it isn't all that much more than ClipShare and MediaMax, Rayzz becomes the clear choice. However, if you have a small budget and are just looking to get something up quick, one of the open-source or less-expensive options might be a better choice.

Clip-Share

Clip-Share is a video sharing software application which allows the user to create a web site similar to YouTube, and is often called a YouTube-clone.

It is written in PHP and uses MySQL databases. As with most other video sharing software, Clip-Share uses ffmpeg, a collection of software libraries that can record, convert and stream digital audio and video in numerous formats.

Creating video-sharing websites seems to have become a pretty popular niche, with several high-ranking popular video-sharing websites running the script. Although the script is commercial, it has a large community userbase which also supplies additional modifications and fixes available to the public for free or commercially.

The latest version is Clip-Share 4, which has added many notable features such as multi-server load balancing, multi-language system, and an enhanced administrative user interface.

In the past few weeks Plurk, a new social media site, has captivated my attention.  Instead of jumping on the blogging bandwagon and writing about how good or bad Plurk is, I chose to participate and observe for a while first.  There are many elements and characteristics about Plurk that are great, but one thing that I really love is how easy it is to share visual media like photos and videos.  Along with the ability to comment on each video in a single Plurk or thread, it's this feature where I think Plurk leaves other similar services in the dust.  Visual content can also be embedded within a the thread as well.  It really is an amazing service.

Truthfully, a few months ago I never understood why microblogs, like Twitter and Jaiku, were such a big deal.  After participating in Plurk, I'd rather think of it as a micro-society instead of a microblog.  Why? Plurk facilitates community by creating micro societies and conversations within each of those societies. It connects smalls groups of people, but brings together a small group.  Dictionary.com defines society as:

An organized group of persons associated together for religious, benevolent, cultural, scientific, political, patriotic, or other purposes.

Plurk is simply the medium that facilitates connection, but once the connections are made a micro society is the result.  Within those connections, Plurk allows you to control what you share and how your share it.  Instead of sharing with all of Plurk, you have the option to control what connections will view that information.  In other words, you may have 100 connections, but only choose five of those connections to participate in a conversation.  As a result, that allows members to have intimate conversations with others (I don't mean that in a weird sexual way, although I am sure it happens).

Plurk makes it easy to find people, comment on conversations, see other people's point of view, and share digital content.  By digital content, I am referring to links (to anything), videos and images.  The only missing element is the ability to embed and share music from music sharing sites like Imeem and Last.fm.  Hopefully, that will made possible in the future.

Comparisons between Plurk and Twitter

One reason Plurk has become popular in such a short period of time is because Twitter continues to struggle with keeping its service running.  As Plurk has risen to prominence, there have been many comparisons between each.  I feel compelled to give my two cents about each, but only as it relates to sharing information.

I'll be the first to admit, when I first joined Twitter, I didn't get it.  I didn't understand what the big deal was, nor why it mattered that I should be on it.  It was confusing to follow conversations on Twitter because it seemed very disorganized and disjointed.  Sure, it was easy to share activities, ideas and information with others, but all the conversations are intermingled making challenging to have a conversation or have more intimate conversations with others.  I am sure others will disagree.  In order to follow a long conversation you had to go back and figure out where that conversation began.  Often times, the "back" feature on Twitter was turned off, which frustrated me and turned me away from using it.  Granted, I was a newbie to Twitter, but when you are trying to learn something new you expect it to work. And, if you wanted to have more personal conversation with someone, you could only have it one other person, instead of with a group.

Plurk, on the other hand, includes the entire conversations in a single thread making it easier to follow and add your own thoughts.  As fellow Plurker, David Alston,  put it, Plurk puts the "social" back in social media.  I couldn't agree more.  It is the threaded conversations which really make it more conversational than Twitter.  In addition, Plurk is constantly adding new functionality such as recently adding a search function within the platform making it easy to find conversations of interest, search for people in your geographic location, and search your own timeline.  Twitter is lacks much of this functionality.  Granted there are plenty of sites that support Twitter, like Summize, but really, I would think it is best to build these functions within the platform instead of making users LEAVE it.

This is not to say that Plurk isn't having some growing pains.  There have been moments when Plurk is unavailable, but the key difference is when Plurk returns there is something new, or a bug has been fixed.  The fact that Plurk is constantly refining itself is really where it leaves Twitter in the dust.  There are a number of other reasons why.  Instead of regurgitating the same thing others have mentioned, check out the following: Techipedia, InsideCRM, and Plurkiverse.

Here is a nice little article that describes the different characteristics of Plurk.

Sharing on Plurk vs. Twitter

Where Plurk separates itself from Twitter and other similar sites is how you are able to share information.  Twitter allows anyone to share links from anywhere on the web, but it redirects you off the site.  Plurk allows users to add a link, or make it into a hyperlink.  It is the choice that makes a difference here.

The only way to share visual content on Twitter is by sharing a link. The link could be an image from Flickr or a YouTube video, either way it is treated the same.  For example, take a look at the image below. I've shared a link to the new Alice Cooper trailer for his upcoming new album.  To view the trailer, a Twitterer has to click on the link and will then be redirected to the YouTube website to view.

Sharing a video in Plurk is a similar process as in Twitter, but the results are very different.  I can take the exact same link from YouTube, paste the link, and Plurk will embed the YouTube video right into the comment.  Take a look at the image below.

The image is actually the video embedded.  In the Plurk community that is what anyone who visits my profile will see.  In fact, the entire video can be viewed within Plurk.

In addition to being able to watch the entire video on Plurk, your Plurk friends and fans, or anyone else you allow, can leave comments about the video. Don't get me wrong, as I mentioned before, Plurk won't allow all video sites, but it does allow for any YouTube video to be shared.  Last I checked, there was no shortage of music videos on YouTube to share with others.  In addition to videos, images can also be shared from sites such as Tinypic, Flickr, Photobucket and ImageShack.  To embed an image, follow the same process as you would a YouTube video.

Once the video is embedded, depending on your privacy setting, anyone Plurker can comment about the video or even add more videos within the same thread.  Check out the image below.  The very first comment is another video, which can also be viewed in the Plurk community.

Here is a nice little tutorial for embedding content on Plurk.

The Conversational Society

The ability to meet people and connect with them easily is really what makes Plurk a gem.  It is the main reason why a consider Plurk a society versus a microblog.  Plurk's design makes it easier to share content, such as videos or images, but also talk about that content.  If Plurk were to add the ability to share music from music social networking sites and/or embed mp3 somehow, it would make Plurk that much more powerful of a place to share content.

We all have passions and Plurk makes it possible to share those passions with ease.  I have managed to connect with great people on Plurk.  Not every Plurk thread will entice a conversation, but there is always the opportunity for music lovers to take advantage of a site that thrives on connecting with others, sharing passions, and conversing about those passions.

I hope to see you there!  Anyone interested can join and instantly connect with me by clicking this link.

Traffic Geyser has saved me so much time in getting my videos out to all the different video sharing sites and I can't recommend it enough.

Basically, you just log on, sign up for an account on all the sharing sites, which does take some time, but then whenever you want to submit videos to all those sites, you just have to do it one time and Traffic Geyser does the rest.

It has made my marketing for http://RealEstateProfitCoach.com a whole lot less time consuming and a whole lot more fun!

Quite a cool thing for the video sharer or marketer!

Cheers,

Roland Frasier
